'You've finally experienced what it's like to be in [NUS]'...
Tt was uttered to me as I complained to my group mates tt I completed what I was tasked to do for our [MKT1003] group project tt was due today and could only sleep @ 0130 hrs this morning...
Not to forget the part tt I've to wake up @ 0530 hrs, just 4.5 hrs later... It was really a extremely good experience and 1 I hope tt I wouldn't have to repeat anytime soon...
Meeting @ 0900 hrs for our 1st and final practice before the real thing is really scary when the tutor demanded a certain lv of professionalism... No cue cards or scripts are to be in our hands and hence, we've to memorise what we've to say...
Initially, it sounds easy with the false impression tt the slides will be able to prompt us on what we have to say... However, we must @ least know what we're supposed to say 1st and this is something tt was seriously lacking in me...
With my day ending @ almost 1800 hrs every other day and me arriving home @ abt 1900 hrs, it was a near impossiblity to do my tutorials, manage the presentation slides and memorise what I've to say... Not to mentioned tt the whole allocation of who to say what part was only finialised @ the very last min, like 2 days before the actual presentation...
It was a nightmare before the real thing and a nightmare when the real thing came... Unlike my group mates, I GOT STUCK DURING 1 OF THE SLIDES WHICH I WAS PRESENTING!!! The explanation to a pt on the slide just blanked out of my mind and I couldn't continue for tt fw blaring seconds... THE AWKWARDNESS WAS BLARING AND WHATEVER LITTLE CONFIDENCE TT I HAVE JUST VANISHED...
Well, what else could be expected from a person who hasn't spoken out to a group officially for 3 yrs??? *Sigh*
I still have many mre practices to go and I just hope tt I'll be able to get the confidence tt's hiding somewhere within me... Haha...
For now, I'm off to chill before concluding this long and tedious day... Tml shall be yet another day of mugging... I've so many deadlines to meet, gosh!!!
